DALLAS — The Dallas County DA's Office is working with police to sort through thousands of uncategorized digital files that may contain important investigative information.

In a statement released Thursday, Dallas DA John Creuzot said he is engaging in "constant dialogue" with Dallas police Chief Eddie Garcia regarding the situation.

Creuzot added that his office was not made aware of the 52,000 uncategorized digital files when they were originally discovered in November 2021, but said that he has "come to understand these materials are believed to be more of an administrative nature rather than investigative" since learning of them earlier this week.
